Hi guys ....I need to buy a budget laser printer . Ive zeroed on HP and Canon brands.
Im confused between Canon 2900B and HP 1020. Prices difference between the two are just 500+- ( as per lamington rates) , so its just case quality and reliability.

HP has 1yr warranty and Canon has 2yrs warranty.

I did go throuh a few thread and came up witha few queries

1. Do all printers come with in box 12A toner ?? What is full toner and basic toner ?? i heard in box toners are basic toners ..so is it that i'l have to buy a new separate full 12A toner once the stock one gets over ??

2. Whats wid that toner chip ?? wat should be the concern wrt refilling?
 
I got HP 1020+ in around 5.7k from Chroma Aug 2012. Working great since then.... Prices are up since then I think.
I dont know which toner it came with but it prints around 2000 pages atleast and refill can be done at any stationary shop in around 200-250rs. So never bothered to get one with more capacity.
Once I changed head of toner after a year in approx 300/- (after approx 6000 print)

I dont think so you will go wrong with anyone..
 
I would suggest to go with HP than Canon - had issues with Canon on a Linux system. Plus I hate that Canon printing software/drivers - when HP needs none.
